Give me two strong arms to protect myself.

We made it to the end of the first week of rehearsal. The mornings are cool, and quiet -- and calm. Waking early means I can take my time, I am not as affected by dizzyness, because I am moving easily. And peacefully. Taking care of morning business, checking the boxes. And then sitting and writing. No anxiety. No urgency. No worry, no care.

Is this interesting? I do not care.

Sleep last night wasn't bad, but I dropped a melatonin so I'm not as bright this morning as I might be. But I slept, or at least I slept until 4:30 am. I always wake up twenty minutes or thereabouts before my alarm.

I hope I can sleep in a little tomorrow, and without a headache. That would be an awesome close to my week.
